Day 4

started the day at the gym and completed 8.2 (2nd run of week 8) of couchto5k. struggled a lot to keep running but all i did was focus on the wall infront of me till the time was up. i'm easily distracted when i'm running on the threadmill cause i can't decide what to look at!

can't believe i'm one week away to finishing the whole program then i'm going to start registering for runs in melb-who wants to join me?

the big goal is to run the penang bridge in november.the penang bridge connects mainland malaysia to the island of penang (where i live).it's about 13.5km but i'm going to start with the 10 km fun run. i've managed to convince a few friends to join me as well.it's something i've always wanted to do-ever since we moved to penang in 1995.the only problem was i'm not a runner-swimmer,yes,runner,no.give me the pool/sea/water and i'll jump in :)

so as part of my quarter life crisis last year (i'll explain that in another entry) i decided to pick up running after finding out about the couchto5K program online.the most awesome thing about it is now u can also get it as an iphone app. all u have to do is turn your music and run-then a voice will come on and say "run now" or "jog now" or the best one "one minute left".i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start running.
